Following mid-day's report about the delay in launching the pothole tracking system, BMC Commissioner Pravin Pardeshi on Wednesday instructed the roads department to ensure that the app is ready for public use at the earliest. Meanwhile, the civic body also claimed that there were just 100 potholes across the city that are yet to be filled. Citizens taking the roads daily may have a different story to tell though.

According to complaints received through another app called the 24X7 mobile application - a forum for citizens to register general civic complaints, from June 10, 2019 to July 9, 2019, 1,070 road-related complaints were received. The roads department claimed to have disposed off more than 90 per cent - 964 - of these complaints, said chief engineer S Nadgowda.
